Eckincek

A beautiful, pine-clad bay, the scenery is just stunning. The restaurant overlooking our anchorage has not only the most spectacular views, but the food there is some of the best you'll eat in Turkey!

This is the sheltered spot where all the yachties who want to do the Eckincek river trip leave their boats; then take a little local boat up the Dalyan River (it's too shallow for yachts).

The Dalyan River trip always gets the greatest rave reviews from people—it's a really spectacular ride up the reed-clad river banks, Lycian cliff tombs lining the way; the ancient city of Caunos and—for the big kids among us—rolling around in mud baths!
